'''Columbia Records''' is the label that [[How To Destroy Angels]] signed with in 2012 to release ''[[An Omen EP]]'' and ''[[Welcome Oblivion (album)|Welcome Oblivion]]'', and [[Nine Inch Nails]] signed with in 2013 to release ''[[Hesitation Marks]]'' and its accompanying singles. NIN had previously been a free agent after many years on [[Interscope Records]]. In 2014, Columbia also released [[Trent Reznor]] and [[Atticus Ross]]'s score for ''[[Gone Girl Soundtrack|Gone Girl]]''.
After How To Destroy Angels signed with the label in 2012, [[Trent Reznor]] made the following statement on Facebook about returning to a major label:
<blockquote>Regarding our decision to sign with Columbia, we've really spent a long time thinking about things and it makes sense for a lot of reasons, including a chance to work with our old friend Mark Williams. There's a much more granular and rambling answer I could give (and likely will in an interview someplace) but it really comes down to us experimenting and trying new things to see what best serves our needs. Complete independent releasing has its great points but also comes with shortcomings.</blockquote>
